Not official (yet) but this is more of less what the 5th generation Corsa will look like. Interior is substantially more up market as seen on the Adam.

Let's hope GMSA does not out price it compared to the Fietsa and Polo - then it won't make it. Their current plan for the Opel brand is to have it as a more premium range over the Chevrolet line up.
Edit : Going premium did not work out that well down under : http://blogs.wsj.com/corporate-inte...even-europe-looks-good-compared-to-australia/

2014 Q4, but it will take much longer to reach SA and the OPC will take even longer. Only new model we are getting (maybe) is the Adam in 214 H2.
Dam, need to see some pics of the new OPC to see if it worth the wait. The base models look good though.

Brexit slows Vauxhall Corsa and Insignia production
Production for the Vauxhall Corsa and Insignia will be scaled back due to a weak pound following Britain's decision to leave the European Union.
Insiders say Brexit’s impact on the pound means General Motors’ British brand - which is known as Opel on the Continent – is making less profit on each model it sells in the UK.
The lower value pound is also expected to impact demand in the coming months, so the car maker is preparing to adjust the operating hours for two of its German production facilities, Esienach and Ruesselsheim, where 5000 people are employed.
"The Brexit situation is an issue for everybody who does business in and with the UK at the moment and we already announced last month that there will be an impact on our European financial performance if the value of the pound remains at its current level for the rest of the year,” explained Opel in an official statement.
While demand is expected to slow, both the Corsa and Insignia are among the best-selling vehicles in Britain. However, insiders say not even this can offset rising costs following Brexit.
Last month Autocar reported how an LMC Automotive report said Vauxhall would be the first European car maker to move production from the UK to Europe, following Britain’s self-ejection from Europe.
Opel’s latest statement adds weight to LMC’s predictions and casts more doubt over the future of Vauxhall in Britain. Vauxhall’s latest statement regarding its UK facilities said no decision would be made until the British government’s plans for Brexit were revealed.
Volkswagen production issues
Elsewhere in Europe, Volkswagen has also revealed that six of its European plants have been hit by supply shortages, leading to the halting of production for the Golf and Passat in Germany.
The issue is not associated with Brexit but rather to do with a dispute between the brand and two parts suppliers, both of which are subsidiaries of Prevent Group. Around 25,000 workers have been affected by the issue.

Vauxhall denies claims of Corsa fire risk
Reports suggest 1.1 million Corsa D and E models could feature a dangerous wiring fault, but car maker says they're untrue
Vauxhall has denied claims that its Corsa D and E models feature a wiring fault first seen on the Hummer H3 that can lead to a fire.
The car maker recalled 2767 Corsas running with a 1.4-litre turbocharged engine to address another fire-related issue earlier this year, but reports by The Sun suggested significantly more models could be affected by a more widely spread problem in the car’s heating and ventilation system.
The paper said all models built since 2006 could be involved. The Corsa is the UK’s second best selling car after the Ford Fiesta, so the claims would mean up to 1.1 million cars are affected, with a potential recall bill to fix the problem totalling around £200 million for the brand.
The wiring fault that has allegedly caused dozens of fires is caused by metal contacts that can corrode over time and get hot as the connection loosens. This heat causes surrounding plastic parts to catch fire.
A similar fault was found in another General Motors product, the Hummer H3, leading to suggestions both it and the Corsa feature the same problem. However, Vauxhall has denied claims that its D and E Corsa models have the fault.
“Vauxhall confirms that there is a different vehicle heating and ventilation system configuration in Corsa D/E to the Hummer H3, inclusive of a different connector,” it said in an official response. “This is why the risk assessment applied to the Hummer H3 cannot be applied to Corsa D/E.”
Vauxhall also said it has not received any reports of vehicle fires attributed to the heating and ventilation system of its Corsa D and E models.
